Grilled Cheese Tomato Soup Sticks
I just found out that it's National Grilled Cheese Day today and to say that I am overreacting over here about the serendipitous timing of it all is might be a slight understatement. And completely predictable for all who know me well. Could it be that I've got just a smidgen of psychic ability? Perhaps. You...
Party Potato Pave Bites with Cheese Sauce
Any time I go to out to eat, I devour the fries that came with my dish first and save most of the actual meal for leftovers. It sounds ridiculous, but I live and die for potatoes. It must be the Irish in me.* The path to my happiness is paved with warm, crispy-edged, fluffy-centered...

Pumpkin Crumb Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I’m entirely aware that it’s usually not a good thing to say that your breakfast was inspired by your dog’s food. But just hear me out for a second here. My girl Roux is a super-spoiled pup-- she...
Overnight Raspberry Sweet Rolls with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze
This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill, who's inspired the inner baked goods buff in me this week. I'm trying my best not to bore you with the annual monologue about my general lack of a sweet-tooth-- that much is well-documented by now-- but we've again reached the time of the year when talks of...
Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Custard Pastries
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and ConAgra Brands. All opinions are mine alone. #SpringReddi #CollectiveBias You might think that we're leaving dessert season, since Thanksgiving pies, Christmas cupcakes, and Valentine's Day chocolates feel like a distant memory by now. A moment of silence for all of the delectable desserts that have been devoured,...
No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bars
The truth-- if you care to know it-- is that I'm a cynic. (Though if you've been reading for a while, this should come as no surprise.) I will probably leave this world just as distrusting, disillusioned, and full of whining as I entered it; still a crusader of personal space and timely break-ups; still the last...
Bacon Beer Cheese Bread Bowl
For those of us who are blindly flailing our way through life (yes, I'm including myself here), it's nice to have a couple of life pro tips in our back pockets. This is especially true when it comes to party planning. After all, one of the worst times to crash and burn is when you have a...
How To Make The Ultimate Autumn Harvest Cheese Board
I'm not sure if I've ever gone on record with this admission before, and I'm a little nervous to let the secret slip. But here goes: I could take or leave Thanksgiving food. There, I said it. Now, don't get me wrong. I love fall flavors. Carbs are my closest pals. Turkey and I are tight...
Spider Web S'more Cheesecake Brownies
For about 315 straight days every year, you could call me a Halloween costume visionary. From pop culture to punny to straight up scary costumes, I'm a veritable goldmine of ideas. "How ever will I choose?" I ask myself, but of course I never write down my favorites, because that would be the smart thing to do, and I'd...

Sun-Dried Tomato Crusted Chicken with Goat Cheese and Herb Sauce
My little brother Mark-- or maybe I should say my younger brother, as he's not very little anymore-- doesn't fit the stereotype of the annoying bratty sibling. In fact, he's pretty much the coolest kid-- or I guess man, now-- that I know. That's mainly due to the fact that he spent most of his early years trying to be like me....
Creamy Three Cheese Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas
When I first started coming up with recipes for my upcoming Cinco de Mayo / birthday fiesta, I was all set on only including authentic Mexican recipes. I researched meticulously, I took notes, I ordered special ingredients online... aaaand theeeeen these Creamy Three Cheese Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas happened. Sometimes you just gotta follow your heart.
Baked Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese Bites
I just pulled (what I'm pretty sure is) my first all-nighter since college to get this post to you today, and I've gotta say, I'm pumped about it. The recipe required a lot of tweaking and testing throughout the week, as well as a lot of blood, sweat, and tears as I've tried to figure out why my computer and...
Slow Cooker Chili Cheese Dog Dip
Over 2 years ago, I made a Chili Cheese Dog Dip that would haunt me until this very day. Not because it wasn't delicious (trust me, it was), but because every single time I would ask James, "Guess what I'm making this week," he would guess Chili Cheese Dog Dip. Every. Time. I eventually stopped asking...
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cheesecake
Let's be honest: no matter how great of a cook you are, nor how gracious a host, Thanksgiving gets stressful when you're the chosen one who's preparing the feast. Everyone is counting on you for a delicious day; it is the biggest food-centric event of the year, after all. You spend days planning and prepping,...
Classic Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
If anyone were ever to call me a recipe purist, they'd be wildly mistaken. I like my foods fusion-ified. I like them loaded with crazy amounts of fillings and toppings, and authenticity always follows far behind enjoyability when it comes to my meals. I do not have a Plain Jane appetite, to say the least....
Honey Dijon Chicken Cheesesteaks on Pretzel Rolls
My mom is not a big eater. She is perfectly content having salad for dinner most nights, and she sticks to small portion sizes when she eats anything else. I did not inherit my endless (and frighteningly insatiable) appetite from her. But sometimes she surprises me, like when I told her that she could have the first taste...
Easy Ham and Cheese Pretzel Pinwheels
Here I am with another pretzel recipe, and I have to say that I'm not even the least bit sorry.  Especially because this time we're not fussing around with making our own dough!  It's easy to get excited about pretzel pinwheels that don't take hours to make-- simply pop open a can of refrigerated breadstick dough and you're...
Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Nuggets Stuffed with Beer Cheese
It was almost exactly three years ago that I was spending my Winter Break at Rutgers, hanging out with whichever of my sorority sisters were still around, wasting countless hours at James' fraternity house, and singing and dancing to Christmas songs with all of our friends who decided to stay in New Brunswick. James and I weren't...
Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Cookies
Everywhere you look this time of year, there's red and white--Â striped, dotted, or blocked together, running its way up candy canes and down pillars, and circling around knit scarves and Santa hats. So it's no surprise that a deep red, chewy cookie with swirls of sweet cream cheese and dots of white chocolate chips fit...
Four Cheese Sausage & Spinach Lasagna
This is the last thing I made before burning the ever-loving you-know-what out of my fingers. About two weeks ago, I was making this Four Cheese Sausage and Spinach Lasagna and some Jack Daniels Burgers to bring to my friend's surprise party. My lasagna was fresh out of the oven and I was trying to position it...
Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake with Apple Roses
I worked on this all day and night just to be sure I could get it to you today.  Why?  Because it would be a crime to not give you a recipe for something this good as soon as humanly possible.  So here we are.  It's 9AM as I write this and I'm on my fourth...
Goat Cheese and Chive Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are, admittedly, one of my least favorite ways to get my share of spuds. Â It might just be me, but I'm extremely picky with my mashed potatoes, and most of them just don't make the cut. Â It's so easy for them too be too smooth, too lumpy, too gummy, too bland... and for...
Fig, Blue Cheese, and Walnut Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing
I'm getting panicky because fig season is almost over and that means that I'm not going to be able to make my absolute favorite salad again for another 8 months.  Even worse, I nearly didn't have enough time to share the recipe for Fig, Blue Cheese, and Walnut Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing with you, and now...
Bacon Egg & Cheese "Everything" Egg Rolls
When it comes to breakfast, I'm the worst. It's probably easy to imagine that I wake up every morning to make myself omelettes stuffed to the max with fresh veggies and melted cheese that oozes out of the folds like a little egg volcano. And being that homemade meals are kinda my thing, there are always plenty of...
Fried Green Tomatoes with Goat Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette
I have been waiting for a whole year to make and share this recipe with you. Last summer, James and I went down to North Carolina to visit my cousin, Ashley, and her fiance (now husband), Evan. Â We planned on jetskiing and picnicking and walking downtown, but we didn't get to experience much beautiful Carolinian...
Pull-Apart Pretzel Skillet with Beer Cheese Dip
Today I was planning on posting a different recipe, but I'm feeling very German at the moment so pretzels and beer were a must. By "feeling very German", I mean that my whole house is now obsessed with DuoLingo (if you want to learn a language, look it up, it's free and I've been using...
Three Cheese Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese
I'm sad to say that there was a point in my life when I hated Mac n' Cheese. Doesn't that make you sad for my childhood? Oh, the wasted years! For much of my life, I didn't realize that there was anything else out there other than the watery, powder-made instant cheese sauce from a box. No...
Grilled Balsamic Steak with Blue Cheese Butter
In the past year and a half that I've been blogging, I have really warmed up to steak. Â "Warmed up" as in I can't get enough of it and I weep for the 22 years of my life that I wasted without it. It's like when you're in a relationship, and you really love someone,...
Boozy Red, White, and Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles
I'm really bad at coming up with short recipe names. I thought about calling these "The Absolute Best Frozen Dessert The World Has Ever Seen", but that seemed a little too wordy. Boozy Red, White, and Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles was shorter-- by a margin-- so I went with that. You can call them whatever you want though,...
Baked Chicken Chimichangas with Monterey Jack Cheese Sauce
Yesterday I cried at Starbucks. Not like a little whimper, I'm talking full on sob-crying with little pools of tears collecting on the lid of my coffee. Â It was not my finest moment, guys. Â Not my finest moment at all. I'm pretty sure James was contemplating running for the hills and never looking back.
